dc.descriptionRessources naturelles et développement : le paradoxe congolais presents a different story of the relationships between power and nature. Much academic research on the Congo focuses on politics and security aspects. This book has a rather different starting point. The Democratic Republic of the Congo has natural resources the world needs. Its ores help satisfy our craving for the latest electronic gadgets. Global warming depends on the fate of its forests. Congolese farmers can feed a billion people. The Inga dam could light up the entire African continent. All these factors help redefine the strategic contribution of the DRC in a globalised world. This book analyses the new dynamics at play in the management of forests, mines, land, water, and oil. It links these sectors by connecting them with each other and integrating them in transnational, African, and international systems. Written in a clear and direct style, the volume presents a range of facts and analyses that make it an essential companion for any reader interested in the political economy of resource management in Africa.
